Dear Mr. Webb:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North
Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
This permitrenewal has the following differences from your current permit:
• The equipment listing on the Supplement to Cover Page was revised to include dechlorination and an automatic
starting back upgenerator.
• On page A.(1.) of the permit, the words "Total Suspended Residue" was changed to "Total Suspended Solids"
in accordance with current practice.
• Format changes were made to A.(1.). The DO and pH values were moved up into the table and the footnotes
removed.
• The TRC footnote was updated in accordance with our current TRC permitting strategy regarding reported
values less than 50 µg/ L considered to be in compliance with the permit.
• Tar -Pamlico Basin Association information regarding Nutrient Reduction was added to the permit as Special
Condition A.(3.).

SUMMARY
Pinetops WWTP is a ri Qr municipal facility (flow <1 MGD) that receives 100% domestic
waste. The treatment plant is located on Bruton Craft Lane in Pinetops, North Carolina, in
Edgecombe County. The design capacity of the treatment system is 0.3 MGD. The facility
maintains one outfall, which discharges into Town Creek, classified Class C-NSW waters in the
Tar -Pamlico River Basin. Town Creek is not listed as impaired on the 2010 303d list.

INSTREAM MONITORING
Instream monitoring is done for temperature and dissolved oxygen. The downstream DO levels
(monthly averages) were higher than upstream 84% of the time. Upstream DO samples were less
than 5.0 mg/ L 88% of the time, while downstream DO samples were less than 5.0 mg/ L 66% of
the time. So the facility discharge is generally having a positive impact on the stream. Effluent
D.O. had a minimum value of 5.8, so the effluent never violated the D.O. standard of 5.0 mg/ L.
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
BIMS (2008-2010) indicate that the facility received one NOV during the time frame. The NOV,
issued 1/27/2011 for two monitoring frequency violations for Total Suspended Solids and Fecal
Coliform, both in October, 2010. Compliance Evaluation Inspections noted no serious problems
in the operation and maintenance of the facility. Excessive Inflow and Infiltration continues to be
a problem. The plant is working on correcting this situation, and is seeking funding for I/I
rehabilitation projects.
BOD/ TSS REMOVAL RATE
The facility is well within the 85% removal requirement for BOD and TSS. BOD removal rate is
98.3%, and TSS removal rate is 98.7%.
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
No RPA was conducted, as there are no parameters monitored that would warrant an RPA.
Pinetops is a minor facility treating 100% Domestic waste.
Special Condition A.(2) Wastewater Management Plan
The previous permit had a special condition A.(3) Wastewater Management Plan which required
a wastewater management plan be developed and submitted to the Division. The plan includes
two parts, a facility assessment describing deficiencies and operational difficulties in the existing
facility and how to correct them, plus a study of inflow and infiltration in the collections system.
The second element is a biosolids management plan.
The facility did not do either of these items, so was not in compliance with the permit. These
studies have been retained in the renewal draft, renumbered as A.(2). Raleigh Regional Office
will likely fine the Town for noncompliance with these permit requirements.
PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division practice, the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• The equipment listing on the Supplement to Cover Page was revised to include
dechlorination and an automatic starting back up generator.
• "Total Suspended Residue" was changed to "Total Suspended Solids" in accordance with
current practice on page A.(1.).
• Format changes were made to A.(1.) in compliance with the WQ basin plan. The DO and pH
values were moved up into the table and the footnotes removed.
• The TRC footnote was updated in accordance with our current TRC permitting strategy
regarding reported values less than 50 µg/ L being considered to be in compliance with the
permit.
• Tar -Pamlico Basin Association information regarding Nutrient Reduction was added to the
permit as Special Condition A.(3.).

Jim,
I returned from vacation today. Other than adding the de -chlorination system to the permit, as well as the Wastewater
Management Plan that we have discussed a couple of weeks ago, there are no other concerns at this time.
The NOV went out on March 7 addressing their lack of addressing the plan back in 2004-5.

equal to 0.1 mgd must also complete Part B. Some applicants must also complete the Supplemental
Application Information packet. The following items explain which parts of Form 2A you must complete.
BASIC APPLICATION INFORMATION:
A. Basic Application Information for all Applicants. All applicants must complete questions A.1 through A.8. A treatment works
that discharges effluent to surface waters of the United States must also answer questions A.9 through A.12.
B. Additional Application Information for Applicants with a Design Flow z 0.1 mgd. All treatment works that have design flows
greater than or equal to 0.1 million gallons per day must complete questions B.1 through B.6.
C. Certification. All applicants must complete Part C (Certification).
SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INFORMATION:
D. Expanded Effluent Testing Data. A treatment works that discharges effluent to surface waters of the United States and meets
one or more of the following criteria must complete Part D (Expanded Effluent Testing Data):

2. Is required to have a pretreatment program (or has one in place), or
3. Is otherwise required by the permitting authority to submit results of toxicity testing.
F. Industrial User Discharges and RCRA/CERCLA Wastes. A treatment works that accepts process wastewater from any
significant industrial users (Sills) or receives RCRA or CERCLA wastes must complete Part F (Industrial User Discharges
and RCRA/CERCLA Wastes). SlUs are defined as:
1. All industrial users subject to Categorical Pretreatment Standards under 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 403.6 and
40 CFR Chapter I, Subchapter N (see instructions); and
2. Any other industrial user that:
a. Discharges an average of 25,000 gallons per day or more of process wastewater to the treatment works (with certain
exclusions); or
b. Contributes a process wastestream that makes up 5 percent or more of the average dry weather hydraulic or organic
capacity of the treatment plant; or
c. Is designated as an SIU by the control authority.
G. Combined Sewer Systems. A treatment works that has a combined sewer system must complete Part G (Combined Sewer
Systems).

Town of Pinetops Flow Diagram Narrative
Raw sewage inters the plant at a manhole just inside the plant fence. The east and w est
interceptors converge at this point. The waste stream then enters the bar screen and grit
removal structure.There is provision for PH control at this point. Waste then enters the
aeration basin for further treatment. The detention time in the aeration basin is
approximately thirty hours. Waste then enters the secondary clarifier for solids removal .
Sludge from the clarifier is recirculated to aeration basin or wasted to the aerobic
digester. Effluent enters chlorine contact chamber then to post aeration and
dechlorination then to plant outfall 001.
Dried sludge is disposed of at the Bertie County Landfill.
Plant additions
Effluent from the plant is now being Dechlorinated before discharge also a water reuse
system has been installed for wash downs at plant There is no connection to potable
supply. The plant now has an auto start generator capable of supplying power to all plant
processes.
